An environmental activist is obstructing the path of coal trains to a port owned by Adani in Far North Queensland.

Earlier this morning, Brisbane student and member of Frontline Action on Coal, Tayla Jay Haggarty, suspended herself above train tracks running to the Abbot Point Coal Port, north of Bowen,in a bid to protest Adani’s coal mining.

Ms Haggarty says it is sad that corporations such as Adani are profiting from the destruction of Australia and that Frontline Action on Coal expect the government to stick to their promise to not approve public funding for Adani’s coal mine.
